alm1.jpgConsidering how pervasive and energy sucking laptops are, LAPTOP Magazine rigorously tested the power consumption levels of 16 notebooks to determine who may be the greenest of them all.  Always looking to curb the carbon emissions and save some cash, I was especially interested to see how Mac stacked up.

Check out just how much energy is consumed during the everyday activities of Apple, HP, Dell, Samsung, Sony, Lenovo, MSI, ASUS and Toshiba laptops…awards were presented in 4 product categories:   Ultraportables, All-Purpose Notebooks, Desktop Replacements and Netbooks.  Oh, by the way, in the running with Toshiba, HP, and Dell — Apple’s (17-inch) MacBook Pro came in a disappointing third in the Desktop Replacement category.
